Join us for an afternoon of shellfish and community - a laid back, open-house style afternoon with the HOC, serving only the freshest, local oysters, all you can eat, prepared several different ways, accompanied by perfectly paired pours of local wine. This event is a celebration of our program's success in 2026 – an afternoon of relaxation, reflection, and a recharge for 2027.

Every gift supports SPAT’s ongoing mission of restoration, education, community outreach, and research initiatives. Your generous support makes a difference. Deepen your impact by adding an additional contribution of any amount to further strengthen the SPAT program’s efforts.

The event's proceeds will be used to support and expand SPAT’s work as we grow into the future, ensuring our citizen science aquaculture program continues to thrive for years to come. Our vision will secure additional annexes, continue to build awareness and relationships, and increase the health of our local waters.
